John Hamilton Poet Lyric

Paradise

Paradise

When I look
at how the world is...
that, 
it's broken 
beyond repair...

and, 
it comforts me 
just knowing...
that you exist, 
and that you care

Even though, 
some people laugh and doubt...
they don't even know 
what you're about...

In the end,
they'll know 
just who you are

Chorus
Paradise...
I can feel, 
your love surround me
Paradise...
I'm so glad, 
your truth has found me
Paradise...
because of faith in you, 
I have survived...
to see, Paradise...
this evil world has passed away
and so I  praise your holy name 
every day

I look around, 
there's no more 
strangers...
every one 
has a friendly smile...

I'm convinced, 
now more than ever...
that serving you, 
was so worthwhile

Now, 
I see the whole world 
is at peace
all of your enemies 
deceased...
Finally, 
all anxieties released

Chorus
Paradise...
I can feel, 
your love surround me...
Paradise...
I'm so glad, 
your truth has found me...
Paradise...
because of faith in you, 
I have survived...
to see Paradise...
this evil world 
has passed away
and so I  praise, 
your holy name every day

repeat chorus
fade to zero
